SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
416 PM AKST WED JAN 11 2012
.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE IMAGES TODAY REVEAL THAT THE FRONT THAT
WAS BRINGING US ALL THE SNOW, RAIN, AND WIND LAST NIGHT HAS MOVED
INTO CANADA. WE ARE GENERALLY LEFT WITH SW FLOW CONTINUING TO
PUMP WARMER AIR INTO THE PANHANDLE. WITH THE SOUTHERLY PUSH MOST
PLACES IN THE PANHANDLE HAVE WARMED UP ABOVE FREEZING TODAY AND
CONSEQUENTLY HAVE HAD THERE SNOW CHANGE OVER TO, OR MIX WITH
RAIN. THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE ARE HAINES AND SKAGWAY WHERE
UPPER LEVEL COLD AIR HAS REMAINED STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE PTYPE
AS SNOW EVEN THROUGH SURFACE TEMPS ARE IN THE MID 30S, AND HYDER
WHICH STILL HAS A SURFACE TEMP IN THE MID 20S.
FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW, PRECIP AND WIND WILL BEGIN TO PICK UP
AS A WEAK WAVE FORMING ALONG THE FRONT IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
ADVANCES TOWARD THE PANHANDLE. SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE HAVING SOME
TROUBLES WITH THIS WAVE. THE EC AND UK ARE FORMING A WEAK CLOSED
LOW ALONG THE TROUGH AND MOVING IT NORTH TOWARD YAKUTAT. GFS AND
NAM ON THE OTHER HAND KEEP THE FEATURE AS A OPEN WAVE AND TRACK
IT A BIT FASTER NORTHWARD THEN THE EUROPEAN MODELS. LIKED THE
REPRESENTATION DISPLAYED IN THE EUROPEAN MODELS AS SATELLITE
IMAGES SEEM TO SUPPORT THE STRUCTURE OF THEM BETTER THEN THE NCEP
MODEL. THEY ALSO HAD THE BEST INITIALIZATION. IN EITHER CASE, IT
LOOKS LIKE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE TOO WARM TO SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT
SNOW FALLS OVER MOST OF THE PANHANDLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. LOW
LEVEL FLOW MAY HAVE JUST ENOUGH EASTERLY COMPONENT LATE TONIGHT
TO MIX OR CHANGE THE RAIN OVER TO SNOW IN SOME INNER CHANNEL
AREAS BUT I EXPECT NO MORE THAN AN INCH OR TWO OF ACCUMULATION AS
SURFACE TEMPS SHOULD BE TOO WARM FOR THE SNOW TO LAST LONG.
HIGHER ELEVATIONS LIKE ALONG THE KLONDIKE HIGHWAY, AND HAINES
HIGHWAYS MAY SEE A BIT MORE BUT I STILL EXPECT LESS THEN ADVISORY
CRITERIA.
WIND WILL ALSO BE A PROBLEM, BUT MAINLY FOR AREAS DOWN SOUTH. AS
THE WAVE COMES NORTH, SE WINDS WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT ALONG
THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. HAVE DECIDED TO POST STRONG WIND
HEADLINES FOR KETCHIKAN, HYDABURG, AND PORT ALEXANDER FOR LATE
TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW FOR GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH. WIND AND
PRECIP WILL BE DIMINISHING BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
...MUCH COLDER FOR THIS WEEKEND...
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WILL CONTINUE TO SEE ONSHORE FLOW AND
RAIN/SNOW LIKELY ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AS A LOW REMAINS IN THE
NORTHERN GULF. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
CHANGING RAIN TO MAINLY SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. AS THE LOW
STARTS TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH FRIDAY SHOWERS WILL
BECOME MORE SCATTERED THROUGH THE DAY AND DIMINISHING FROM NORTH
TO SOUTH THROUGH THE NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO BUILD OVER
THE YUKON AS THE LOW MOVES TO THE SOUTH CAUSING WINDS TO SHIFT TO
THE NORTH BY FRIDAY NIGHT. WITH THIS SHIFT WE WILL SEE A PATTERN
CHANGE. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT...BECOMING
STRONG BY SATURDAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS THROUGH NORTHERN
PASSES. A TAKU WIND EVENT MAY ALSO SET UP WITH THIS PATTERN AND
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT SOUTH
WITH THE WINDS CAUSING MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES. EXPECT LOWS
ACROSS THE NORTH TO BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO AROUND ZERO WITH
HIGHS IN THE TEENS. TO THE SOUTH HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO APPROACH
FREEZING. THIS WILL BE A VERY DRY AIRMASS AS WELL WITH PARTLY
CLOUDY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES EXPECTED.
MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS PATTERN CHANGE AND INDICATE
THAT IT WILL REMAIN THIS WAY THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. USED A
BLEND OF THE GOING FORECAST WITH THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF...ALTHOUGH
WITH GOOD AGREEMENT OVERALL CHANGES WERE MINOR. FORECASTER
CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE.
